　　In the course of one of his lecture trips, Mark Twain arrived at a small town. Before dinner he went to a barber's shop to be shaved (刮脸).

　　“Are you a stranger?” asked the barber.

　　“Yes,” Mark Twain replied. “This is the first time I've been here.”

　　“You chose a good time to come.” the barber continued. “Mark Twain is going to read a lecture tonight. You'll go, I suppose.”

　　“Oh, I guess so.”

　　“Have you bought your ticket?”

　　“Not yet.”

　　“But everything is sold out. You'll have to stand.”

　　“How very annoying(令人生气)!” Mark Twain said with a sigh(叹息). “I never saw such luck. I always have to stand when that fellow lectures.”
